The decline of fertility in Paris in the 19th century (Thread)

France is known for the anteriority of its fertility decline. I asked myself how things were in Paris in my doctoral thesis, which was later published under the title Paris the infertile.

ined.fr/en/publication… I have been able to estimate fertility thanks to the so-called Coale indices, which consist in measuring, thanks to the number of births and the structure by sex, age and marital status, the level of fertility of our population in relation to an unlimited fertility (Hutterites).
